You crash and somehow catch the body/cap on a spike holding the pipe down in the dirt. It looked a lot worse than it was.

 

[Buggyracer28]

Wow that was so awesome! I'm glad my buggy was a winner That TTR got OWNED lmao!

 

[AC48]

Your buggy was third...mine was first! haha...well its pretty much mine. That is a cool vid, can't say I ever broke a gastank lid off haha.

 

[DerekB]

Can't say I've ever had one do that either, but when you have 12" rail road spikes in the dirt anything can happen. All that was needed was to swap the tank and pull the body out and it was back on the track.

when they say top notch gear, they probably took the stock buggy and added hop ups, new motor, people take the stock buggy's and when there finished, its over 1000 bucks into it....thats one thing i dont like too much about buggy's, at least here in Bufflo, you need to have the best gear be able to be competive and be able to TQ...

 

[AC48]

Yea they mean nice engines, radios, etc...all that stuff adds up quickly, especially when you start wtih a $600 buggy kit. Nothing performs like a top of the line buggy/engine tho, you get what you pay for.

 

[HeartBreak]

Definately agreed; I moved up from a beat up Storm to a Mugen MBX5 Prospec... Just the build alone was enough to prove that to me 1,000 times over.

They used all the same engines, pipes and radio's. They did not use hop ups they used what came with the kit and that was it. There was definatly over 1000 into it, considering that 3 of them in kit form cost between 6-700, $265 for the P5, not sure what pipe they ran, but you can say at least 65 for that, m8 or m11 radio's with spektrum, servo's, custom painted bodies, and spare parts for what broke.

If you want to run a pro level buggy get ready to drop some serious coin.

 

[Buggyracer28]

Hell yeah. I started out with a X-terminator pro with an RG, and now I have an almost prospec MBX-5 with a Novarossi and a JP2. Handles 100 times better at the track.
